The prolongation of life in England
by reason of the application of sanitary
measures in the last thirty years is such
that 339, 900 persons were alive at the
md of 1886 who would have been dead
# the rate of mortality of the period
From 1870 TO 1880 had not been reduced
as it was. The death rate for the six
years since 1880 was 10 3 per l 600 of
population, as against, Il 4 in the de-
cade between 1870 and 1880 The
lower rate is largely due to the decrease
of zymotic or filthy diseases. Between
1860 and 1870 there were I Is deaths
for each thousand of population from
such diseases. Since 1880 the rate
is bu, . 43 The birth rate last year
was 80 4 or lower than at any time in
the past forty years. Infant mortality
also diminishes, Since 1880 the rate
has been III per 1000 births, against
Jas in the decade preceding 1880.
These facts as a whole indicate, it is
thought, larger diffusion of knowledge
